RALEIGH, N.C.- The NC State women's cross country team has jumped 11 spots to No. 18 in the latest USTFCCCA NCAA Division I Cross Country National Coaches' Poll released Tuesday.
Hovering at 29th for the previous three weeks, this marks the highest ranking for the team in the 2014 season, as well as the highest ranking in program history since Oct. 14, 2008, when it was ranked 18th in the polls.
From the Southeast region, NC State is the only team besides Virginia (No. 13) that is currently among the top 30.
The Wolfpack women has opened its season with a team win at the Adidas Challenge, followed by a second place finish at the Notre Dame Invitational and its most recent fifth place finish at the Indiana State Pre-National Invitational.
Both squads will compete next on Friday, Oct. 31 at the ACC Championships in Earlysville, Va.
